Everything requires a cause. However, not everything requires for its cause to remain intact after the fact. The previous reality which you'd be physically erasing would still exist so far as being the cause of the new reality. Hence, time paradoxes are false.Objections, anyone?

I object, on the grounds that what you have written doesn't make any sense! lol

Okay, so whenever you change time, you create a new reality and the old reality is "erased". The old reality does not have to exist anymore to have been the cause of the new reality.Time Paradox advocates say that if you traveled back in time, you'd change history so you wouldn't have traveled back in time to begin with (or at least a different you would've done the time travel). This does, however, assume that the reality you came from has to remain intact. In truth it doesn't matter whether the original timeline is completely erased; as long as it at some point resulted in you traveling through time then it's fulfilled all of its "requirements".If you traveled back to 5 years before the birth of your father/mother then killing your grandfather would not prevent you from coming into existence.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but time isn't a negotiable quantity. You can't manipulate time, either forwards or backwards. It's illogical and only happens in science fiction books and movies. Time is not a spacial vector. This is a common mistake that many famous physicists have made.

Correct. Time is cause and effect and how we perceive it. What I'm referring to is the theoretical situation where someone was able to reverse all actions in the Universe except for their own existence in the re-done reality as carried over from the original.

There exist valid solutions of special relativity equations that allow for limited time travel through wormholes. Whether they exist in reality or are simply a quirk of the mathematics is as yet unknown.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Consider the grandfather paradox. Suppose I invent a time machine, go back in time, and kill my grandfather when he was a child. The previous reality of my grandfather being alive, fathering my father, who then fathers me would indeed be the cause of the new reality where my grandfather is dead before he became an adult, but that doesn't solve the question of why I still exist in this new reality. With reality altered, if I go back to the present day, I (should) still be alive, albeit my grandfather died before he fathered my father, which means that my existence would still be a paradox.

Your original grandfather would've been "erased" and replaced by this grandfather of yours who died. But erased is not the same as "never existed". He would've still existed despite having been erased and his erasure wouldn't have undone the eventual consequence of his procreation (your existence), seeing as how you by the act of time traveling were not erased.I know this isn't a perfect example but it's like a chalkboard. You can write one thing and then erase it and write something else in its place. The original writing would no longer exist but it cannot be said that it never existed.

That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that in time traveling you'd destroy one Universe and create another one, with you being the variable that makes this new Universe different from the old one.

I'm quite skeptical of this though, I doubt time travel into the past is possible. Multiple universes probably exist in my opinion, but not parallel universes.

What I'm saying in this thread does of course assume that time travel is possible. I do acknowledge this.

I would call it a pseudo-science though, topics like this are just speculation since there's no evidence of what multiple universes look like, whether time is a dimension, etc.

Another common mistake made my cranks and crackpots who believer they are geniuses is how to spell "Spatial". And, of course, spatial vectors have little to do with time, if anything, and are all about rigid body dynamics, genius.

But you're considering this from the viewpoint of the time before you went back in time to kill your grandfather. When you go back to your grandfather's time, you fundamentally alter reality by killing your grandfather. The world would have evolved without your grandfather, and, by extension, you. This reality extends to the time you go back to the present day, where you shouldn't exist.

You assume any changes to the timeline that occur after you arrive have the ability to affect the original act of you time traveling. After you arrive it doesn't matter what you do. You could go back and kill the first two humans before they could procreate and that wouldn't erase you from existence.

I concur. And I find it annoying that people take the fabulous concept of time travel seriously as if it's a real possibility, which it isn't.

So, you've been shown that don't understand the term you used, which was not used by the folksy you claimed, nor does it appear anywhere in the paper you cited.

Run along Mr, Cranky.
